But Jiang Dongcheng quickly denied his idea.
After all, Jiang Ye called him uncle, so he definitely had nothing to do with him. Why should he tie others to himself?
Whenever he had something on his mind and didn't want to keep it to himself, he would talk to the old man.
The old man is an experienced person and can enlighten him most of the time.
He walked into the old man's room, and before he could open his mouth, the old man said, "I heard you arguing with Wu Min again. You said there's someone who looks very similar to you. It's the woman you had a misunderstanding with last time. She's his son, right?"
Although the old man is old and has been paralyzed, his ears and brain are still good.
"Dad, let me tell you the whole story. That woman was about my age, Comrade Xu's mother-in-law, and she had just come from the countryside.
The first time she met me, she mistook me for her husband who had been missing for many years and called me "Da He". I told her she had the wrong person, but the second time we met, she kept chasing me and calling me "Da He". Wu Min happened to see us and she misunderstood that there was something going on between us. Then, she suddenly told me she had the wrong person.
Later, I met her again on the bus. Maybe because she had mistaken me before, she felt embarrassed to see me again, so she avoided me. Unexpectedly, she fell when getting off the bus. I was close to her and wanted to help her, but Yushan saw us again.
You know what kind of people these mother and daughter are. They must have misunderstood me again. I was angry and slapped Yushan, and then the mother and daughter started to make trouble with me together.
When I saw that woman again later, she seemed to be able to avoid me. Yiming said his eldest son looked like me, but I didn't think much of it. However, the mother and daughter saw it and kept pestering me.
They said I looked exactly like that person, so I didn't believe it and went to see them. It turned out that we really did look like two peas in a pod."
"So, you two look more than 90% alike."
"More than a resemblance, when I see him it's like seeing a picture of myself when I was younger. We're the same height, and I think our body proportions are similar. If I were to go back to that age and stand next to him, you probably wouldn't be able to tell us apart."
“It’s so similar.”
The old man laughed silently, he wanted to see the child immediately.
Jiang Dongcheng frowned, "Dad, why are you still laughing? Do you think this is a good thing? The mother and daughter at home both suspect that he is my illegitimate child. With their personalities, I'm afraid they will keep nagging about this and start a quarrel with me."
After listening to him, Old Master Jiang thought for a while and said to him, "Dongcheng, remember I told you before that I had a dream. I dreamed of a gourd vine with three small gourds that looked like dolls on it. It seems that Jiang Yang has not only this brother, but also a sister, which means he has three children in total."
"Dad, what do you mean? Do you really think those three children are mine? I'm already in enough trouble, and you're adding to it."
The old man laughed again. "I don't mean to cause you any trouble. They say having more children brings more blessings, and I want more grandchildren too. Okay, okay, I know this kind of thing would be very frustrating for you, and it would be a tangled mess. But Dad sees things differently from you. For example, decades ago, before the new society, weren't there many men with three wives and four concubines?"
"Dad, I understand your perspective. You can't empathize with my situation. So stop making sarcastic remarks. You don't know how annoying your son is. Dealing with the suspicions of mother and daughter every day is driving my head crazy."
"So you think the fact that he looks so much like you is just a coincidence?"
"What else can I do? I can't possibly have a child with his mother when I didn't even know her, let alone have any contact with her."
"Didn't you lose your memory for a few years?"
"That was impossible during those years. I was always in the mines, which is far from their Qingping Bay."
"Since you lost your memory during those years and woke up in the mine, everything you know about what happened in those years was told to you by the people in the mine."
"Yeah, they said I worked in the mines for a long time, and I hit my head in a mining accident, so my memory has returned."
"Has it ever occurred to you that they might be lying to you? Didn't you say it was an illegal mine and you had to go through a lot of trouble to escape? If it's an illegal mine, then its owner can't be a good person and tell you the truth, right? The boss just wanted you to work there with peace of mind, so he deliberately lied to you, right? And your coworkers, isn't it possible that they were lying to the boss?"
Jiang Dongcheng was speechless for a moment. "At the time, I thought I had escaped, so I didn't think too much about it. Even if I did think about it, what they said might be false. There are ten thousand possibilities in the past few years. Do I need to consider all those ten thousand possibilities?"
"I didn't have to think about it before, but now it seems I need to think about it."
"Dad, are you saying that during the years when I lost my memory, I found someone else to bear children, and those were the three children?"
He suddenly remembered the look in Mei Xiangcao's eyes when she looked at him in the courtyard at home, and his body suddenly shook.
They had already said it before, that Mei Xiangcao had mistaken him for someone else. However, when she looked at him just now, her eyes didn't look like she was looking at a stranger, nor did they look like she was looking at an insignificant person.
There seemed to be hope, helplessness, and... deep affection in those eyes.
deep feeling?
